- Title
Survival of Xiphinema index for six years in stored clay soil from a vineyard.

- Abstract
This article discusses the survival of the ectoparasitic nematode Xiphinema index in stored clay soil from a vineyard. The nematode is responsible for transmitting Grapevine Fanleaf Virus, a severe viral disease of grapevines. The study found that the nematode can survive in stored soil samples for up to 5 years, with a survival rate of 2.5% in clay loam and loam soils and 11% in clay soil. After this period, no nematodes were found. The study also suggests that the survival period may be shorter in field conditions due to factors such as temperature fluctuations and exposure to predators and parasites.
